I will be LIVE on the Undoctored Inner Circle Virtual Meetup every Wednesday

July 31, 2017 By Dr. WillIam Davis

I shall be LIVE again on the Undoctored Inner Circle Virtual Meetup on Wednesday August 2nd at 8 pm Eastern/7 pm Central/6 pm Mountain/5 pm Pacific. I would also like to make this time slot a regular Meetup time for every Wednesday.

Let’s discuss the Undoctored program with a specific focus on bowel flora, as this is the most common tripping point on the program. The Virtual Meetup function allows us to meet as a group to discuss issues or questions via live video. In addition to our open discussion, I would like to discuss how the Inner Circle site is going to help fund and build our Undoctored movement, taking us closer to a world in which healthcare is (almost) free.

NOTE: A portion of the Meetup may be recorded for promotional uses. If you do NOT want to have your voice or video shared, please mouse over the left lower corner of your Meetup screen to turn off audio and video input (avatars for a microphone and video camera). I will announce when I am recording and when it is turned off.

(The Undoctored Inner Circle is a paid membership site that includes features such as the live Virtual Meetup, webinars, the Undoctored Health Network video collection, Health Tool Product Reviews, and a Discussion Forum.)

When it comes to cultivating bowel flora … I would be particularly curious to hear of any/all informed opinion or others’ experiences with the NIGHTSHADES … tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, potatoes …

With a low-carb diet, I have less reason to eat these in any significant quantity, eg no pasta means no need for sauce … mostly, it’s a no-sugar, very-low-carbs benefit … but I think I also benefit slightly from NOT being exposed to some of the nastier biochemicals in nightshades [as much] — after all, tobacco is kind of famous for its poisons … the alkaloids and lectins of all nightshades are supposedly some pretty nasty gut irritants. Of course, that’d be especially true for someone with an autoimmune condition … but for others of us, it is less obvious.

I suppose I could eliminate them entirely … although, I still enjoy things like salsa as a condiment and variety in one’s food choices is probably necessary, ie to avoid cultivating too much of fragile, “almost monocultural” gut culture that can’t travel or enjoy meals with friends/family … mostly, I am not so sure about what I’d be missing. Might SMALL quantities of nightshade contain something absolutely necessary or life-enhancing … is a small amount of irritation from alkaloids or lectins beneficial to the appropriate cultivation of gut flora?
